The West Sutherland Fisheries Trust collects and holds certain personal data for the purpose of fulfilling its charitable objects as set out in its founding Deed of Trust, which includes the protection of fish and their habitat for the public benefit within its district, as recorded at the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.

The Trust will record and process personal data about its trustees, members, supporters, employees, volunteers, contractors, staff of research and conservation partners & other fisheries management bodies, attendees at WSFT events and other (natural) persons who have logged an interest in the WSFT or its activities with WSFT from time to time.

The Trust’s lawful basis for processing data will vary according to the data subject, but for example in the case of Trust members, it will be to administer their contracts of membership; for staff and contractors, research & conservation partners it will be to administer their contracts with WSFT; and for supporters & volunteers it will be in relation to legal obligations/requirements and/or their consent.

The Trust will take all reasonably practicable measures to keep that personal data safe and secure.

The Trust will only pass personal data to 3rd parties without the consent of the data subject where it is necessary for us to do so in support of the fulfilment of our charitable objects.

The Trust will never, ever sell, rent or trade personal data to any 3rd party.

Any requests or issues or complaints should be sent by post or email as above.
